The Turkish presidential race headed into a runoff on Sunday as both Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his main challenger Kemal Kilicdaroglu seemed unlikely to secure over 50% of the vote, a state TV tally said late on Sunday.

Erdogan is leading Kilicdaroglu with 49.52% of the vote, with 95.09% of the ballots counted, while the opposition leader lagged behind with 44.76% of the vote. The second round is set for May 28.

The results of the counted ballots so far show Erdogan at the forefront of the presidential race, mainly against Kilicdaroglu, but with a percentage of votes insufficient to announce him president from the first round.

#Erdogan seems to be in the lead in the presidential race so far now that 94.24% of the votes have been counted.

The final results will be published later this evening once all the ballots are counted.#TurkeyElection2023 #TurkishElections pic.twitter.com/risnXMjYs5
